Chapter 195 A Problem at No Solution
The sound was clear and loud, and Eunuch Xu knew it was made by the princess as soon as he heard it.
He didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly raised his voice and shouted in his unique effeminate voice: "Your Majesty the Queen and Your Highness the Princess, I am here to pay my respects to you!"
Then, a gentle voice came from the room: "Oh, it's Eunuch Xu, please come in quickly!"
Wang Xinyao followed Eunuch Xu into the house.
She looked up and saw Queen Yang Wanqing sitting dignifiedly on the couch, like a blooming peony, graceful and elegant, her gorgeous clothes making her temperament even more elegant.
Next to the queen sat a girl in green clothes, who looked like a tender willow in early spring, delicate and graceful, and very beautiful, but her eyes were red. She must be Princess Zhao Yuwei.
Upon seeing this, Wang Xinyao hurriedly bowed to the Queen with Eunuch Xu, shouting, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen! May Her Majesty live a thousand years!"
Yang Wanqing smiled slightly and then said, "Hurry up and stand up. There's no need to be so polite, sir!"
Then, she turned to look at Eunuch Xu, and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Eunuch, you have come to this cold palace this time. Does His Majesty have any instructions for me?"
Eunuch Xu bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has no special instructions. To be honest, it was Eunuch Yaozi who insisted on coming to see you today!"
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Wang Xinyao who was standing beside him.
Yang Wanqing looked at Wang Xinyao suspiciously: "Little Yaozi Eunuch? New here?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Wang Xinyao stood up quickly and went straight to the point without any hesitation.
She carefully took out a scroll from her arms and gently unfolded it. It was a painting carefully painted by Zhao Haoxuan.
In the picture, a woman in gorgeous clothes is holding three children, standing inside the towering palace walls, gazing at the endless horizon in the distance.
The moment Yang Wanqing saw the painting, she stood there in shock as if struck by lightning.
Then, big, crystal clear tears burst out from his eyes like a flood that broke through the dam and could not stop.
Her whole body was trembling slightly due to excessive excitement. This painting was of great significance to her. She had also painted such a painting with her own hands in the past.
At that time, her heart was filled with longing and yearning for a free life outside the palace. When she was painting, her Prince Xuan'er happened to be witnessing it with his own eyes.
Yang Wanqing could no longer suppress her surging emotions. She stood up suddenly and walked towards Wang Xinyao with staggering steps.
When she got closer, she grabbed Wang Xinyao's hands tightly, her voice becoming a little hoarse from extreme nervousness and anticipation: "Tell me quickly, where is he? Is he really still alive?"
Faced with Yang Wanqing's sudden and extremely intense action, Wang Xinyao was obviously unprepared and could not help but take a step back.
But she quickly came to her senses and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't worry too much. Brother Zhao is fine. It's just that due to some reasons, he is temporarily unable to enter the palace to visit you!"
Hearing this, Yang Wanqing's heart was relieved a little, but she was still not completely relieved.
At this moment, she suddenly seemed to notice something was wrong. She looked Wang Xinyao up and down with suspicion and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Huh? You're actually a woman?"
Eunuch Xu hurried forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it was Miss Wang who saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I have seen His Royal Highness with my own eyes. He is in good health and full of energy! Your Majesty, please rest assured. In my opinion, it won't be long before His Royal Highness returns to your side safely!"
Hearing these words, Yang Wanqing's heart instantly dropped. An ecstatic smile blossomed on her face, and her voice trembled with excitement: "Thank you so much, Miss Wang!"
Yang Wanqing was pleasantly surprised after hearing this. She even bowed to Wang Xinyao and said, "Thank you for saving my prince brother!"
As she spoke, she actually bowed deeply to Wang Xinyao to express her sincere gratitude.
Seeing this, Wang Xinyao hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you are so polite! This is what a humble woman should do."
"Your Highness, you don't have to be too sad about the matter of the eldest prince of the Miao Kingdom. I will discuss the countermeasures with Brother Zhao and will definitely handle it properly! It's just that..." Having said this, Wang Xinyao paused for a moment.
She lowered her voice and continued, "It's just that Brother Zhao is alive. I hope Her Royal Highness can keep it a secret and not make it public for the time being to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
Yang Wanqing and Zhao Yuwei, who was standing beside her, looked at each other and nodded at the same time, indicating that they understood the importance of the matter.
At this moment, Yang Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. This girl in front of her looked so young, but what ability did she have to dare to say so confidently that they could solve the problem that even the current emperor was helpless!
Yang Wanqing thought to herself that this girl must be no ordinary person since she could enter the cold palace so easily.
However, when she called Xuan'er "Brother Zhao", her tone was filled with endless tenderness and affection, and even her eyes revealed a hint of gentleness, just like when she first met the emperor.
Thinking of this, Yang Wanqing couldn't help but smile slightly.
Then, she gently took off the pure gold bracelet with a phoenix-like pattern engraved on it that was on her wrist.
Then Yang Wanqing put the bracelet on Wang Xinyao's hand, which was as delicate and smooth as white jade, and said softly, "Thank you for saving Xuan'er's life. This is a small gift from me, and I hope you will accept it!"
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your reward!" Wang Xinyao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Yang Wanqing hurried forward and personally helped Wang Xinyao up, then patted her hands and said with understanding: "Good girl, get up quickly, I'll leave Xuan'er in your care from now on!"
"Yes, I will spare no effort to assist Big Brother Zhao!" Wang Xinyao's face flushed. At this moment, she realized that she had called Big Brother Zhao out of nervousness.
I didn't expect the Queen to be so smart. She could see through the relationship between her and Zhao Haoxuan just by an unintentional call.
The atmosphere in the house was originally harmonious and everyone was chatting happily, but at this moment, a loud and noisy sound came from outside the door without warning.
Eunuch Xu and Wang Xinyao are both skilled in martial arts, and they never slack off in training their senses on a daily basis, so their ears and eyes are naturally much more sensitive than ordinary people.
Although the noise was still some distance away, they could hear it clearly.
